Professional Care You Can Trust

The Carrollton Animal Hospital has been a staple of Carrollton, Ohio since 1971 and when Dr. Keith Burgett purchased the practice from the widow of the late Dr. Don Kelch. In December of 2017, Dr. Burgett retired and sold the practice to Dr. Nicole Kelleher, DVM, DVA, VSMT, who is continuing Dr. Burgett’s legacy of providing high quality care, hometown medicine and exceptional customer service.

From the moment you walk through our door, you'll experience friendly and personalized care and hospitality that comes with a small town feel. At Carrollton Animal Hospital, we believe that your pets are family, too.

Owner Testimonials

 

"As everyone knows we've had a rough road with our puppy. But I can not say enough great things about Carrollton Animal Hospital and their staff!! Took Bristol in after her accident without even knowing her!! We have had 2 surgeries already and she is having her last one this morning!! They call me just to check on her, they are there when I call asking 100 questions! When she is with them I know she is in good hands and I have nothing to worry about! I have found myself a life long vet services with them I will not go anywhere else! Driving 45 minutes is worth it!! Highly recommend them! I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for Bristol and me!!"

 

Lexi Goodwin

"Our cat has just gotten very sick and is in liver failure. Carrollton Animal Hospital has been amazing! They have called and updated me every step of the way. He’s not out of the woods, but it so helps that such caring people are helping him, and us, through everything."

Lauren S.

 

"We have been taking our Peanut (Chihuahua) since his first weeks with us (he is 13 now) and I don't & will not Trust anyone else with his care!! He recently had an abscessed tooth that required surgery and they took excellent care of him!!"

 

Greg E.

 

"Been thru a lot with this place. 3 vets from Cleveland failed to diagnose my Shepherd with EPI. CAH thought it was EPI but told me it's a very costly test and takes a while. She had lost 20 lbs and was starving to death. They convinced me to take the test and saved her life as far I am concerned."

 

Ron Howard

 

"Dr. Kelleher has cared for our pets for two years. Last night we made the painful decision to euthanize our 14-year old Springer Spaniel and Dr Kelleher was just as caring and loving toward our pet in her death as she was in her life."

 

Beth Zbasnik

 

"We drive over an hour to take our furbabies here. They are so nice and caring not only for the animals but for the owners. Been taking our babies there since 2013 and don't see us changing vets anytime soon."

 

Autumn Shasteen

"Friendly people who give the best care they can to your animals and pets. Short wait times and appointments available to your schedule make the animal care process easier. A good place."

Glenn Maney

 

"This is the most professional, personal and courteous animal hospital my family has ever been to. I think everybody should take their fur babies to Carrollton Animal Hospital."

 

David D. Teeters II

 

"Friendly, professional service, reasonable prices."

 

Robert Harris

 

"Very reasonable rates. Friendly staff."

 

Matt Grose

 

"The animal hospital has new owners currently. We had to bring out senior dog in for some serious issues with the possibility of making the hardest decision ever. Staff was wonderful and Dr. Nicole Kelleher is a wonderful vet. Kind, caring and compassionate. We ended up being able to keep Stella longer. All of our dogs will go here from now on."
